'Hmph! That's laughable. So that's why Jeremy stole the first baby. I can't believe he's been shamelessly playing one big happy family with Sophia for the past three years while Corinne has been waiting for him to come back!'"Edmund, stay by the door and monitor the situation through the peephole. Let me know immediately if anyone goes in or out of the suite," ordered Lucas with a darkened expression."Yes, Mister Lucas!" said Edmund. He then fixed his eyes through the peephole as if his life depended on it.Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose after Edmund left. He was not at all concerned that Jeremy was alive. Ultimately, the only person he was worried about was Corinne.How would Corinne take it if she found out Jeremy stole one of her babies so he could be with Sophia? It would mean all the time she spent missing, waiting, and searching for him was for nothing.Lucas was sure Corinne would have a meltdown. It would be better for Jeremy to have been dead if the truth showed t

The more Sophia could not get Jeremy, the more she wanted him. There were times even she herself could not tell whether she wanted him because she loved him or because of her stubbornness.In any case, did not want to give up on him or let him marry and live happily with Corinne.She walked into the bedroom and saw 'Benjamin' had fallen asleep on the bed while Jeremy was staring out the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in his thoughts.After observing him for a while, Sophia finally said, "Zachary, has Benjamin fallen asleep? Are you hungry? Do you want me to call the hotel for room service?"Jeremy did not seem surprised at her voice suddenly coming from behind him. He simply turned calmly and said, "We've been eating room service for the past few days. Both Benjamin and I think the food here is either too oily or too bland. We don't like them at all. Maybe you can go buy some groceries and we can cook for ourselves instead?"This was the first time Jeremy had asked her to do someth

Bryan sat up and scratched his head. "What are you talking about, Daddy? I don't understand what you're saying.""You're not my son," said Jeremy sternly.Bryan was shocked. He could not hide the guilt on his face anymore. Finally, he pouted and said, "Fine, I admit I'm not your son…"'Well, at least he's honest,' thought Jeremy. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why did you pretend to be my son? Did someone put you up to it? Just what are you trying to achieve?"Bryan shook his head quickly and put up his hands. "No, no! I'm not trying to achieve anything! I just thought you were very handsome and fatherly. I don't have a father, so I wanted to experience what it's like to have one…"For some reason, Jeremy could not help but feel a tug at his heart when he saw how pitiful and sincere Bryan looked.All sorts of possibilities ran through his mind. For example, someone made the child look like Benjamin through an ancient art of face disguise called Metamorph so he could spy on him

Maybe it was because he had seen Corinne at the auction house earlier in the day and thought she did not look like a bad person. He narrowed his eyes when an image of Corinne flashed through his mind."What does your mother do?" he asked."My Mommy is super awesome. She's the president of my Daddy's company!" said Bryan proudly.A look of skepticism flashed across Jeremy's eyes. 'She's a president? But she doesn't look like the type who can lead a company! After all, who'd follow a leader who looks that cute and innocent? Also…'"Didn't you say you don't have a father? Why is your mother helping him run the company?" he asked.Bryan frowned and pouted. His eyes shone as he answered, "Mister, you're not really that smart, are you? Of course I have a father! Otherwise, how did my Mommy make me? I meant that my Daddy hasn't been with us since I was young, so I've never seen him before. It doesn't mean my Mommy is a being that can give birth to a baby without a man. Do you understand

'She must really love her husband to still want to wait for him after he abandoned them,' thought Jeremy.After musing for a while more, Jeremy stopped and asked Bryan again, "Then when do you plan to switch back places with my son?"Bryan looked at him with his sad puppy eyes. "Umm… I want to feel what it's like to have a father for a bit more, so can I stay with you for two more days? You have my word that Mommy will treat your son very well!"Jeremy's eyes darkened. "Why me, of all people? I'm nothing but a cripple who can't even stand up on his own. You should look for a Daddy who's strong enough to carry you on his shoulder."Bryan tilted his head out of distress. "Mister, you shouldn't talk like that about yourself. I think you're very handsome. You're the most handsome man I've ever seen in my life. You're even more handsome than my uncle! Plus, it's not like you've asked to be wheelchair-bound. But since there's nothing you can do about it, why not try to live more positive

Jeremy was indeed surprised, but he was shocked at why a man would be knocking at his door at this late hour. That was all. He did not understand what Lucas was saying at all."Who are you?" he asked.Lucas was stunned by the question. His sneer became even more obvious when he remarked, "What's the matter? Did you lose your memory or something?""Yes, I did. Judging by the way you're talking to me, I'm guessing we used to be enemies?" asked Jeremy calmly.Lucas was incensed by his nonchalance. "You b*stard! Do you have any idea how long Corinne has been looking for you? You've wasted three years of her life!"Jeremy felt a slight ache in his heart when he heard the name 'Corinne'."Who's Corinne?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.Lucas grabbed him by the collar. "I should've never let Corinne marry a b*stard like you!"At that moment, the sound of an elevator door opening could be heard coming from the corridor.Jeremy glanced in the direction of the elevator before pushing Lu

Lucas narrowed his eyes at the phone on the coffee table. He picked it up and gave Corinne a call first. She picked up the call after a few rings."Hey, Corinne. You were looking for me?""Hello, Mister Lucas. Has the auction house given you a reply as to whether Sophia is Adam's daughter?"Lucas could not help but feel his heart ache at the thought of Corinne worrying about the Holdens' business while Jeremy was playing 'happy family' with Sophia right opposite his suite."They haven't got back to me yet, but you don't have to worry about this, Corinne. You have my word that I'll get that piece of land for you at a satisfactory price.""Call me as soon as you get news from the auction house," said Corinne. She was indeed anxious about the matter since she felt that Sophia was not going to admit to her wrongdoing that easily."Will do. What are the kids doing now?" asked Lucas."They're having their dinner and will come up to the room shortly.""Okay. Have a good rest, and don'

Sunny certainly improved a lot over the last three years. After interning at the company's overseas branch, he became more than capable of handling all sorts of matters both in life and at work!Lucas was naturally gratified to witness Sunny's transformation. He no longer had to worry about his younger brother being a good-for-nothing. Tomorrow, he would arrange for Sunny to work in Rivera Group so he could learn more about running a company.…Meanwhile, back in the Riveras' mansion.It was the first time in three years that Sunny had gone home.'Ahh, it's so nice to be home!' thought Sunny as he lazed on the sofa with both his hands behind his head."What did Lucas say? Is he coming back?" he asked when he saw Maxwell hanging up his phone from the corner of his eyes."He said he's busy and will come home to see you tomorrow," replied Maxwell as he put his phone on the coffee table.Sunny was surprised at the answer at all. He scoffed and said, "I knew he'd never put me over h

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
